Research
Matthew Amengual’s research explores the political economy of promoting economic development that is both equitable and sustainable.
His recent work seeks to understand how the institutions that regulate labour standards in global value chains evolve and influence outcomes for workers and firms.
His first book, Politicized Enforcement in Argentina: Labor and Environmental Regulation was published by Cambridge University Press. His second book, Communities, Mines, and Distributive Politics: Direct Contestation in the Andes, published by Oxford University Press, develops a theory to explain different outcomes that arise when firms face demands by societal actors unmediated by state institutions.
